I'm starting to think about what kind of new gear we're going to need for lo2, and a double stroller is a big question mark... If you have 2 (or more), what is their age gap? Did you decide to get a double, or if not, why not?

Here's a long ramble with my thoughts on pros/cons...feel free to skip and just tell me about your experience

Our los will be just shy of 3 years apart. We live in a city and walk or use public transportation most of the time. We currently have an UB Cruz, so while we'll definitely get a boogie board, it doesn't fit with the rumble seat. Lo1 sometimes resists the stroller, but I still usually bring it to the park with us or out and about to help with carrying all our stuff. When we don't take it, it's usually because we're taking the bus, and I have to be super strategic about what all I bring with me--like I switched from using a tote bag to a back pack for my own work stuff so I have my hands more free on our daycare/work commute, or I have to take most stuff out of the diaper bag so it doesn't get to heavy since she often wants to be carried as well. When lo1 was smaller, I definitely preferred stroller to babywearing because of schlepping gear. (I found I couldn't walk very far with both her and the diaper bag without becoming a tired, sweaty mess). I could probably get by wearing lo2 while lo1 was in the stroller, or pushing lo2 while lo1 walks/goes on the boogie board, but I can foresee lo1 having tantrums about wanting to choose and it being hard to switch the stroller back and forth between various settings to accommodate her whims....On the other hand, a double would take up more space in our apartment...gahhh I just don't know!
